It won't stop in Riverdale - that would have been too much to expect, I suppose, but it will stop in College Park as will the 4:13 express from Union Station that previously made its first stop in Muirkirk.  So there are two additional trains from Union Station to College Park leaving Union Station at 3:30 and 4:13 pm.

This train will operate between Washington and Dorsey; it will not serve Camden Yards station. Passengers traveling from Washington to Baltimore in the 3:00-3:30pm timeframe are encouraged to use Penn Line Train 426, which departs Union Station at 3:23pm.
